On Call Wire 5/25
Again, with homages to the WSJ's Washington Wire:
What did Ronald Reagan think of Rudy Giuliani? In the former president's own words: "Crazy." Now -- we're sure Reagan had kinder words in private. But it's kind of funny, anyway.
Per the Hotline's Wake Up Call: Mitt Romney said "he supports" allowing illegal immigrants "to apply to become permanent residents" but "opposes current legislation that would allow them to do just that" (Palm Beach Post). Give Mitt Romney a hard time if you want, but also ask how Rudy Giuliani would replace the Z Visa program...
Speaking of Romney: Hotline On Call wants to know: who's the hottest Romney son?
Asked at a news conference in Lakeland how he would specifically change the language, Romney said, "I'm not, here, going to describe language of a piece of legislation. I'm not a legislator, at least not currently, so I'm not going to give you legislative language."
MSNBC's First Read:
*** Safety Dance: The safe thing to do if you're a Democrat running for president was to do what Clinton, Dodd, and Obama did: vote against the Iraq supplemental. But ask yourself this question: What if Clinton had voted for it? There was plenty of cover (including Al Gore, by the way), and she might have gotten very "presidential" type coverage since she was doing the supposedly unpopular thing. To put it another way, will anti-Iraq Democrats ever give her the credit for this vote?
BTW: The RNC Research Shop sent around a memo entitled "THE SHAMEFUL SWITCH"
